Wednesday night writing group- Join us tomorrow!

As many of you know, Vanwriters has been hosting a writers group every other Wednesday night for the last three years. This is usually a closed group, as we like to keep it small and share our writing in a close-knit, supportive atmosphere. Lately, our numbers have been dwindling, and we'd like to add a few people to our group. We ask that you can commit to attending regularly every other Wednesday night, that you're serious about writing, and that you can give and receive feedback in a constructive, positive way.

If you're interested in seeing what we're all about, check out our open meeting tomorrow. We'll be doing a short writing game, followed some readings. Feel free to bring a short piece to share with the group if you like.

The meeting will take place 7pm, in one of the meeting rooms on the 6th floor of the Central Library downtown. If you're planning to come along, please send me an email so I can keep an eye on the numbers (seating is limited). Many thanks, and looking forward to meeting some awesome new writers!

We're about:

We live in Greater Vancouver and we love to write. We share our work, challenge and encourage each other, and read from our own writings to our fellow members. We argue over commas and colons, whether words in other languages should be translated or not, all things poetry, and anything else that happens to have words in it.

We usually have a few different meetings every month, mostly in coffee-shops around town, where we do writing activities and have discussions about different writing topics. Quite often we have social nights at a bar in Vancouver, and occasionally we hold writing competitions and one-off events. We welcome writers at all levels, whether you are just starting on your first story or are already published.

We also have a weekly radio show on Co-op Radio, Writing Life Radio, which is live on Vancouver 100.5 FM on Tuesdays between 2pm and 2.30pm. Earlier editions of the show can be found here.
